John began writing as a high school student in Illinois in 1983; first writing song lyrics and then stories for the school newspaper. In 1992, he would write, act and direct for a local TV comedy skit show (Comedy Warehouse) filmed in Indianapolis, Indiana. After leaving the show at the end of the 1993 season, he went on to work as a journalist from 1994-1997 for a news daily in Columbia City, Indiana. Returning to college, he earned a BA in Sociology with Summa Cum Laude honors and then an MA in Public Administration and Policy from Eastern Illinois University. His first published work, “What About Iran?” appeared in the Political Science Journal of Illinois State University after placing third in a graduate research competition there in 2009. His complete thesis, “Coercion in US Foreign Policy: Evaluating the Utility of the Jentleson and Whytock Model,” was later compiled in hardback by the university. John has four daughters; Jennifer, Zara, Tiera and Olivia. He currently lives in Lehigh Acres, Florida where he owns and operates a hand-crafted jewelry business and continues to write.
